If a person gets AIDS by using contaminated blade, do mosquito bite will also get AIDS ?

Question

Both mosquito bite & shaving will have the same effect on skin, then why not the diseas spread in both the case?

Answer 1

As the above answers suggest, there is rampant confusion about the transmission of diseases by mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes are poor and often in a hurry. They seldom wash after going to the toilet, and generally have poor oral hygeine. They hardly ever floss. And yet, they are the salt of the earth- they would give their right wing just to save you the trouble of walking in a puddle. Some entomologists believe that that very habit of insect chivalry explains why mosquitoes are often seen in puddles. But entomologists are poorly paid and really arent invested in finding out truth. Who could blame them? They are too busy writing grants trying to keep their family in food and shoes.

"Someday," an entomologist probably muses somewhere, "we will speak mosquitoese and we can just interview them to figure out this stuff. When that day comes, we can just make mosquito ipods and fill them with songs which will make mosquitoes not bite."

Now thoughts like this explain the government's reluctance to fund much of entomlogy research. I mean, would you like to see your tax dollars spent to support subliminal suggestion delivered to biting insects by a nano-device whch really earns the name "nano"?

And since Uncle Sam hasn't invested much in mosquitoes, we still dont know why Joe Mosquitoe can pass on malaria, or Japanese encephalitis, but not HIV. "Sterilizes his stinger"?? Oh, come on.

Answer 2

HIV can not live outside the human body for very long at all ... it really needs that vital living substance to sustain itself, so the probability of it staying alive on a razor's edge is extremely unlikely ... so contracting the virus this way is statistically improbable anyway.

As for mosquitos, they do not transmit the virus. The virus is not transmitted in any casual way. Unprotected sex with an infected person, sharing needles or works to shoot IV drugs, or being born to an HIV+ mom are pretty much how the virus gets transmitted these days.

FYI -- if you are talking about that same razor blade, only it's contaminated with Hepatitis C, the chances are highly likely that you WILL contract that virus. It's a hardy little bug that can stay alive on surfaces 2-3 weeks! Use your own stuff if possible!

Answer 3

No, there haven't been any documented cases of someone getting AIDS from a mosquito bite.

I also heard that HIV will not survive long outside of a human body (like a few seconds or maybe a few minutes at most), so it's probably safe enough if you get bitten by a mosquito.

Answer 4

No Mosquitoes first discover an section to position their eggs then once the eggs are laid it heads off to get blood from both a human or animal then go back to feed the eggs the blood that it has switched over right into a protein type nutrition.Then as quickly because that is finished feeding the eggs interior of minutes the mosquito is useless.There are different infections mutually with west nile virus you could contract if a mosquito stings you .And if not dealt with in time you could die of this virus. So in case you truly want to be secure you ought to apply a computer virus spray containing a strong quantity of Deet..good success..and be secure

Answer 5

GOOD QUESTION!

I asked the same question to a physician once.

The mosquito injects a liquid into us that causes the bump and itching. This liquid actually sanitizes the mosquito's stinger (kills HIV, but not other microorganisms such as Malaria--in a way, luckily!).

As for blood swapping, the mosquito does not blood swap; it just drinks blood. (Certain animal/insect species are not prone to AIDS.)



AIDS IS NOT AIRBORN!

Answer 6

If mosquito bites can transmit AIDS, the world would be a very lonely place right now.

Answer 7

HIV cannot be transmitted by mosquitos. AIDS is caused by the virus, HIV. It is possible to get HIV by using a razor that was used by an HIV positive person, but if a mosquito bites someone with HIV and bites another person who is not HIV positive, the virus cannot be transmitted.

Answer 8

because the aids virus does not survive in a mosquito

Answer 9

mosquitos wont get aids but they carry aids as they bite the humans

Answer 10

No, mosquitoes can not transmit HIV. The virus can not live in their body.
